Finding ways to improve home blood pressure monitoring in primary care
Official title: Identifying Successful Strategies for Implementing Team-Based Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in Primary Care
Funded at University of Rochester · NIH-10914811 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how to help people with high blood pressure by using team-based home monitoring, especially for those in low-income and minority communities, to make sure they get the support they need for better health.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are individuals with high blood pressure, particularly those from low-income and minority backgrounds who may face barriers to effective hypertension management.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who do not have high blood pressure or those who are already effectively managing their hypertension may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the management of high blood pressure by implementing team-based home blood pressure monitoring (TB-HBPM) in primary care settings. It aims to identify effective strategies that engage both patients and healthcare providers to ensure successful adoption and sustainability of this practice. The study will involve recruiting several primary care practices that primarily serve low-income and minority populations, where hypertension control is currently inadequate. By addressing barriers to implementation and providing necessary resources, the research seeks to improve patient outcomes in hypertension management.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better control of high blood pressure, ultimately reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improving patients' quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown that team-based approaches to hypertension management can be effective, but this specific implementation strategy is relatively novel.
